2019 Ford Transit Custom 300LIMITD Eblue 2.0L Diesel · AH02 ADM

A consistent history of successful annual testing defines this vehicle, which concluded its most recent assessment on 17 November 2025 with a clean pass. While the record shows a brief period of component degradation identified during the August 2024 inspection, the subsequent rectification of these items has returned the van to a clear status. The overall trend demonstrates a stable mechanical baseline, as the vehicle has successfully navigated its mandatory inspections without any recorded failures since its introduction to the testing cycle. Accumulating 82,304 miles over seven years results in an average of approximately 11,758 miles per annum, which aligns with standard usage expectations for a commercial vehicle of this type. This consistent mileage profile suggests the van has been in regular operation rather than subjected to prolonged periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this indicates that drivetrain components, cooling systems, and ancillaries have been kept at operating temperatures regularly, avoiding the specific risks associated with long-term storage, such as seized brake mechanisms or stagnant fuel systems. Prospective buyers should focus their inspection on the components previously flagged in the 2024 advisories, specifically the braking system. Although the front brake discs and pads were noted as worn or pitted at that time, ensure that the current pedal feel is firm and that there is no audible grinding or vibration through the steering wheel during moderate to heavy braking applications. If the vehicle pulls to one side when the brakes are applied, it may indicate that the calipers or pads are not wearing evenly, necessitating a closer look at the condition of the sliding pins and piston seals. Regarding the tyre-related advisories from 2024, verify that all four tyres currently fitted possess adequate tread depth and are free from sidewall cracking or structural damage. During the test drive, pay close attention to the suspension and steering feedback, as the Transit Custom platform is known for wear in the front lower suspension arms and anti-roll bar links. Listen specifically for any metallic knocking or clunking sounds when traversing speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, as these symptoms often precede the development of play in the steering rack or ball joints, which would require attention to maintain precise handling and roadworthiness.
